Review Summary

When dignified silent-film leading man Conway Tearle appeared in a short series of "B" westerns in the 1930s, many of his fans considered it a step downward. In fact, Tearle had already tried to establish himself as a virile "outdoors" performer in such silent adventures as Smoke Bellew. The story takes place in Alaska, where Kit "Smoke" Bellew (Tearle) has pitched camp in hopes of forgetting his troublesome past. He succeeds in this endeavor when he helps leathery prospector Shorty (Mark Hamilton) strike gold in them thar hills. Bellew also finds lasting happiness in the arms of the prospector's pretty daughter Joy (Barbara Bedford). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
